when I woke up this morning you were gone
i was alone with just my thoughts and an ache inside my heart
things ain’t been so good lately and we’ve stopped talking
thought we’d give each other space to work it out
but we’re just not getting it done

i roll over on my side and stretch my hand out to touch where you lay
i swear I can still feel your warmth
last night words were spoken that I wish now I hadn’t heard
you said you weren’t sure this could go on
nothing ventured nothing gained
and just like zeppelin said, the song remains the same

a tear upon your pillow and I wonder where it all went wrong
were we both too young
were our reasons all wrong
did duty cancel out all reason
we both wanted it back then and now…well…
we’re both living together alone

throwing back the covers and getting to my feet
bare skin on floorboards as I tread lightly
but weighed down heavily with emotions draining
as the shower beats down I wish all this’d be washed away
to make a clean start and to make this one count
somewhere along the way we took a wrong turn and
neither one of us was paying much attention,
now we’re lost, but we can be found

later that night when you walk through the front door
an awkward smile greets you and you return it
you collapse on the sofa and I sit down by your side
leaning in i take your hand in mine and
with your other you touch me gently…
soberly…uncertain…
i tell you it’s time
we really need to talk.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

  • Your beautiful words fill my mind.
    Ever thought about taking a poetry class:p
    Can't you see that there's light in the dark.
    Nothing's quite what it seems in the city of dreams.
